Petricore is the long-awaited new album by Wojtek, a quintet hovering between sludge and post-hardcore from the province of Padua, consisting of Simone Carraro, Francesco Forin, Mattia Zambon, Morgan Zambon and Riccardo Zulato. “Petricore” is the name of the odour one smells during and after rain that interrupts a dry period. It’s about a sound that has evolved over the years, an increasingly layered wall of sound, embracing vertical drumming and more harmonic and unexpected melodic lines. Let yourself be torn apart by the Italian quintet’s luciferous sound.
